College Bound<br />
College Bound is a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to serving under-represented and minority<br />
students and families in the greater Los Angeles area with college admissions. It is a group of concerned<br />
parents working together to supplement the day to day educational programs offered to children in both<br />
public and private schools. Offering a unique approach to college counseling, College Bound provides<br />
development of study and success skills, parental participation, a monthly study program and guidance in the<br />
admission and financial aid processes. College Bound’s Saturday School program operates from September<br />
through May on the campuses of Pomona College and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. The<br />
program participants, students and parents, gather together on a monthly basis to learn about the college<br />
application process and admissions requirements. While students are in their Saturday School classes, their<br />
parents are also required to attend classes taught by community leaders. These leaders share their knowledge<br />
in areas such as academic competitiveness, parental rights in public and private schools, financial planning,<br />
and conflict resolution. College Bound students in grades 4-11 participate in summer enrichment programs<br />
hosted by colleges and universities around the country. These programs expose students to the academic and<br />
social aspects of college life, while enhancing academic skills in various subject areas and fields of interest.<br />

Community Asset Development Re-Defining Education (CADRE)<br />
Community Asset Development Re-Defining Education (CADRE) is an organization of African American<br />
and Latino parents in South Los Angeles. Maisie Chin, director of CADRE, claims that traditional models<br />
of parent involvement in schools, such as volunteering in classrooms, often do not work in low-income<br />
communities. As such, CADRE is a parent led campaign with a mission to solidify and advance parent<br />
leadership to ensure that all children are rightfully educated regardless of where they live. CADRE empowers<br />
and prepares parents to visit their children’s schools, ask questions, and get involved in every aspect of their<br />
student’s education.<br />
